The fireworks are nicely captured.

What time did you start camping at the Esplanade Bridge for a spot there?

Thanks.

I passed by there at 10+pm and there were already many people on the Esplanade Bridge and around the Merlion area.

So no room in front to take the fireworks. Ended up at near the IR site to take some pictures but the wind (bringing the smokes during fireworks) was blowing exactly into my direction.

Camping for a few hours just for 8 minutes of fireworks is ........well .......

i think they closed the bridge cos it was too jammed. i think should have had more activities to entertain the crowd.

Fireworks are really beautiful.

The merlion position is awkward. Understand the situ, too crowd. A pity.
